4 SERIOUS ERROR
MADE IN BUILDING THE IR0N K0usE FOB
THE CRkMAToRT
One q he Girdss Cannot Be Pit Up and Work
sMHsi Stop for the Pres
.ni

At last evenings session Of the Council
Committee on Health, If was announced
that, owing to blunder by some one, the
work of erecting the iron building over
the crematory would have TO stop pending
the arrival of Contractor N. v. Smith and
the perfecting Of some plan for surmount-
ing the difficulty. 1t seems that in laying
off the ground for the building, the foun-
dation stones were placed in such posi-
ton that the east side of the building
strikes right in the center of the iron
smoke stack, instead of passing it clear on
one side or the other, thus including the
base of the stack in the building or leay-
ing it outside OF the same, and as result
when the wOrkmen come tOput up the CIR
ders supporting the roof they found one OF
them came right in the centre of the Chin
ney. The only ways out of the trouble are
to move the building, the smoke stack, or
else forge semi-circular piece of iron to
fit around the stack, upon which the CIR
der can be supported. The Committee de-
bated the matter for time, and then d.
rected the Health Officer to communicate
with Mr.. Smith this morning aud have him
come down at once. 1t was stated, IN jus
tice to Surveyor Hoge, that he had laid
out the ground for the foundations of the
buildings in exact conformity with the in
structions of Mr.. Smith.
The next matter which engaged the at
tentiOn Of the Committee was the erection
of a bridge from the high bank east of the
furnace, up to and over the same, so as to
allow carts to be driven over the openings
for the deposit Of matter to be burned.
The Pittsburg company which built the
house, fixed the price of bridge at $50,
and a number of members of the Commit
tee thought this seemed too high. After
suggestion that a "good-enough' bridge
could be made at slight expense,
by the aid of railroad bars and
plank, Mr.. Serig was instructed to COM
municate with home manufacturers and
ascertain what they would build it for. The
bridge is something in the form OF a letter
Y, with two of the arms resting on the
bank east of the furnace and the western
arms upon piers to be erected on the side
of the Crematory toward the city. Carts
can be backed out on either Of the eastern
arms to one of the two openings into the
furnace. A crane is also to be erected for
the handling of dead horses, etc.
The Committee transacted some minor
business, and then adjourned.

A sr1r roR S1O. GOO pAMAaEs.

The important case of the day was in
Part Two, Judge Jacob, it being the dam
age suit of Henry Steinbiss v. the Wheel
ing Iron and Nail Company, claiming
$40. 900 damages. 1t occupied the chief
attention Of the Court. The declaration
fled in the case alleges that on the 18th
day of May, 1886, the plaintiff was crushed
by locomotive and cars belonging to the
Iron and Nail Company, the plain
tiff sustaining serious injuries, hay-
ing several ribs broken, and so disabled as
to unfit him for the pursuit Of his accus-
toned occupation. The case was heard
before the following jury: Frank Auber,
Charles Driehorst, John r. Clark, Fred
Och, Felix Muldoon, William Schul,
Philip Meitzel, James West, James West,
James Anderson, Hiram Young, L. ID.
WAIT and Fred Laue. Upon hearing Of
plaintiffs evidence, counsel for the Com
pany moved to exclude. Upon that mo-
ton the Court said there was nothing to
prohibit o man from engaging in danger
Gus employment, and in doing so, he as
sumed the risks incident 10 that employ
ment, but one of those risks was not the
negligence of the employer. The question
was, then, whether the evidence
showed negligence on the part OF
the Iron aud Nail Company. The Com
pany was bound to employ competent ser.
wants, and if one servant is injured by an
incompetent fellow-servant, then the Com
pany had not discharged its obligations.
The Company was bound to furnish proper
machinery and appliances, and a proper
and safe place to work, and then TO make
and maintain proper rules for the govern
ment of its employees and the performance
of their duties. In the present case there
was nothing to show the engineer or brake
men OF the train by which plaintiff was In
iured were incompetent. Neither was 1t
in evidence that the engine and cars were
defective or out of order. The only posi-
BILE point was in regard to whether
there was proper and safe
place for the men to work, and upon that
point the evidence was meager. He point
ed out, however, that negligence was
mixed matter of law and fact, and 1t was
often best to allow the jury to decide the
matter, but in this case be doubted II there
was the scintilla of evidence required by
the books, and the motion TO exclude was
granted. Plaintiffs took nOn-sult.

Suspicious DOIngs.

Some time Sunday night man attired
in striped suit of clothes went into the
alley north of Virginia street and between
South Penn and Broadway, and picking up
a pine board he cut it up into shavings
and fire wood and placed them against an
out building in the rear of Samuel Creigh-
toms residence. The chap was just about
fixed to light the mass off when little
girl came ont of house near by and saw
him. The fellow skipped and the child
informed Mr.. Creighton of the occurrence.
The police were put on to the matter and
they watched the spot until a late hour,
thinking the chap might go back to set
fire to ii. But he dln't show up and Mr..
Creighton took possession of the fuel.

Another SwIndle.

Some time since a man canvassed the
Eighth ward, soliciting subscribers for a
monthly publication known as the Cottage
and ArtizaH, published at 1903 Seventh
street, st. Louis. The paper may be all
right, but the man was evidently a swim
der He informed the people that the
price was 81 per year, and from all those
who subscribed, and there were quite a
number, he collected fifty cents in pay
ment for the first three months, telling
them they would receive the first number
one month later. He gave each subscriber
a receipt for the amount, signing the name
of II. Stevens. The month is long past
now, and the subscribers have neither seen
the paper nor heard of the chap, and they
are inclined to think it is a clear case of

Conservation of an Episcopal Church at
CreSap's Grove, w. Va.

OOhseCThioh vi IN Episcopal Cnurcn NJ
Cresap's Grove, w. Va.
The TT. Rev. George w. Peterkin, d. d.,
assisted by Revs. Woods, SwOpe, CAN'T,
Hammond and Campbell, cOnsecrated the
new church building at Cresap's Grove,
yesterday morning. The church is a neat
frame building, seating about one hundred
1t is built on a pretty knoll overlooking
the river, and reflects credit on the zeal of
the Episcopalians of the neighbOrhoOd.
The church was we'll filled and the Bishop
preached an earnest sermon. setting forth
the objects of public worship and the ne
cessity of special buildings being set apart
for the worship of God.
At the conclusion of the conservation
service the Bishop depOsed from the minis
try of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
the Rev. II. T. Wirgman, recently in
charge of the church at Wellsburg. The
Bishop had written repeatedly to Mr..
Wirgman on the subject of his sudden and
singular course, but without any reply or
explanation, whatever; hence the action
of the head of the diocese, and the promul-
CATION of the order to-day. This'unusual
and unpleasant duty of the Bishop can,
under the law of the church, he done any
where in the diocese, but must be in the
presence of two or more ministers of the
Episcopal Church.
lNoTE-The depOsed clergyman is now
in Detroit, in charge of Reformed Epis-
copal Church in that city.-ED.l

PROHIBITION"

Mr.. Editor:-The question of prohi-
bition is one that should be brought be-
fore the people Of this parish at an ear
ly day.
The necessity for some action in this
respect, is every day, being made more
and more apparent.
Every one is interested in this matter,
and its Importance demands immediate
action.
Prohibition has proven a success in
many sections of the country, even be-
yond the most sanguine expectations of
its friends. The cause is worthy of the
unanimous support OF our people and it
is now almost beyond doubt that it
would receive the support of a hand
some majority were it put to a vote in
St. Landry. In sections of the country
where it has been adopted the people
could not on any account be induced to
reconsider their action and are now
enjoying the benefits resulting from
their wise decision. Your correspon-
dent will in the near future, take upon
himself the task of obtaining the views
of the people of our parish, on this
subject, and will do every thing posi-
BILE to work up the interest that the
cause deserves. More anon. +.
